Retiring Faculty: Leaving Swarthmore

Preparing for Retirement

Academic Data Transition

Move any academic data that you would like your department to maintain access to into the appropriate Google Shared Drive.

Personal Data Transition

Use Google Takeout to transfer any files you personally would like to retain access to, to another account. For more details, see this link.

Email Transition

If desired, you can create a vacation auto-responder in Gmail, to inform those who contact you of your retirement and preferred contact information. You can also set up email forwarding, between your old account and new. Instructions can be found at this link.

Hardware Transition

Return all Swarthmore-owned assets that have been assigned to you -- This includes computers, tablets, monitors, adapters, and DUO authentication fobs.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the ITS helpdesk at support@swarthmore.edu or 610 328 8513.
